I am running spybot, and now adaware 6 on my PC and i'm still getting alot of popups. We never used to get hardly any until now.(we just reformatted) So I dunno, is there any other good pop up blocker?
Spybot and Ad-aware are not pop-up blockers. They are tools to find and remove spyware on you computer. For a good pop-up blocker, which is what you really need, why not download the A2K toolbar? It's free even.

Funny. Using the A2K toolbar to block pop-ups, when the only place I get pop-ups (on this puter, and Setanta's) is A2K.

I've had great success with "PanicWare" pop up stopper.

If your problem is spyware then no popup blocker is the solution, but rather removal of the spyware.
You should post a hijackthis log if you need help with that.

We don't use popup advertising.

That's fine, but the reality is ... I get pop-ups when I'm at A2K. <shrug> I accept it as part of the routine.

Then you might want to check for spyware, I'd not just accept that.

Yeah, just a note for ehBeth, when I am on my parents computer (they're out of town, I pop in to check the place out), I get nasty popups from GAIN while browsing here. They have no spyware tools. I do, and never get popups on A2K when on my own computer.

Checkout PestPatrol, It finds what AdAware misses, I can,t fault it. (www.pestpatrol.com) Also try Avant Browser, its a facelift for IE, it has a great popup blocker, and its free!
